John, Some of this rings distant bells for me. I seem to recall experiencing something like this a long time ago. I found that if I tabbed out of the balance field before clicking the OK button, the proper amount was brought through. I seem to recall that changing and immediately clicking OK didn't work, although I could be misremembering.
There were also some odd behaviors when changing the end date. If I recall correctly, if you change the amount, then change the date and immediately click OK, the amount reverts to the calculated amount for the date in question--even though the user has entered a value. I adopted a practice of: 1) setting the date; 2) setting the amount; and 3) tabbing out of the amount field before clicking OK. David T.
